    Paneer Pakora Recipe

    Pakora is a favourite. Specially this one is yummy. It taste great and it so easy to make. I make this often for my little one, when I make for her. I skip the ketchup part and just fry the paneer dipped in the batter. Made this just for presentation and I found that the paneer taste is good when you apply ketchup onto them.
